TAS Super LP List! Special Merit: Informal

Half-Speed Mastered 180g 33rpm LP!

Peter Gabriel’s self-titled third solo album, affectionately known as MELT due to the iconic Hipgnosis designed cover is available again in its original LP configuration.

Produced by Steve Lillywhite, this third album saw Peter change his writing style; now the rhythm came before the melody and the songs were built up on top of the rhythmic sequences. The album delivered a top 5 UK single in Games Without Frontiers and Peter’s first overtly political song in the shape of totemic closer Biko. It also features notable contributions from Kate Bush, Paul Weller, Phil Collins and David Rhodes.

They album covers look amazing with the gatefold sleeves utilizing imagery from the initial release, sourced and re-scanned from original artwork.
